Management
Rock n Coasters is the podcast for people who plan vacations around concert tickets and roller coasters. Hosts Robert and Michele Forto hit the road each year chasing classic rock, hard rock, and metal shows, then ride everything from wooden coasters and steel dives to giga coasters. Each episode mixes concert recaps, album talk, park and coaster reviews, and the travel stories in between; the kind of trip where the setlist and the credit count both matter. If you care about giga coasters, RMCs, old woodies, amphitheaters, and bands that still sound better live, this is your show. New episodes cover live shows we attended, coasters we rode, and the rock records that still hold up on a long drive between parks. Listen if you are a coaster enthusiast, a classic rock or hard rock fan, or anyone building a summer around festivals and theme parks. Follow Rock n Coasters and come along for the next tour and the next ride.

Team & Trail is dog mushing, outdoor leadership, and trail stories from Alaska and beyond. Dr. Robert and Michele Forto produce this podcast for people who work with dogs, lead teams, and spend real time outdoors. The podcast carries a reporting tradition that began in 1963 and brings it back to the trail. Mushing life. Training partnerships. How a family business hands the work to the next person. How a team carries a load when the weather changes and the plan has to change with it. Field reports, gear that holds up, and conversations with the people actually out there. Team & Trail is a project of the Team and Trail Foundation, a 501(c)(3). We help people go places and do good things: keep the sled dog record intact, teach leadership where decisions have consequences, and remove barriers that keep people off the trail. New episodes from Willow, Alaska, and beyond. https://teamandtrail.com https://mushing.com https://teamandtrail.com/team-and-trail-foundation
